Episode Details

Vermont’s career and technical education is booming as demand surges for skilled trades like electricians and mechanics—driven by rising wages and shrinking workforce numbers. With over 5,000 seniors graduating and tech centers overwhelmed by applications, schools like South Burlington High are seeing record interest but limited spots. Some districts are bringing tech programs in-house to fill gaps left by cut shop classes. A new state bill aims to expand access by tackling barriers like transportation and scheduling. The message? Technical education isn’t a backup—it’s a flexible, high-value pathway to strong careers and economic growth.
